- Homework Statement
- we know α ∈ [0, π] and cos α = √5/3, what is the exact value of sin α and the approx. angle of sin α?
- Relevant Equations
- sin[sup]2[/sup] α + cos[sup]2[/sup] α = 1, unit circle
First off sorry if something doesn't make sense, english is not my native language.
I know i should start with sin2 α + cos2 = 1, but ant really continue from it.
i am being confused by cos α = √5/3 since i know it isn't found in normal trig tables. So my problem is how to find out values of any radian value, and how to find out the corresponding value in sin?
